Leasing vs. Buying a Subaru | Which Option Is Right for You?

Should you Lease or Buy a Vehicle?

Choosing whether to lease or buy your next Subaru depends on your driving habits, budget, and long-term plans. Sport Subaru makes it easy to compare your options with honest, upfront, and transparent information so you can choose what works best for you.
Leasing a Subaru

Leasing may be a good option if you enjoy driving a newer Subaru every few years and prefer the flexibility of returning or purchasing your vehicle at the end of the lease.

Leasing may be right for you if you:

  • Prefer driving a newer Subaru every few years
  • Want potentially lower monthly payments than traditional financing
  • Typically drive within the lease's mileage allowance
  • Like having several end-of-lease options
  • Don't necessarily want long-term vehicle ownership
Buying a Subaru

Buying may be the better choice if you plan to keep your Subaru for several years, drive more miles, or want the freedom that comes with vehicle ownership.

Buying may be right for you if you:

  • Plan to keep your Subaru long term
  • Drive more miles and don't want lease mileage restrictions
  • Want the freedom to customize your vehicle
  • Want to build equity and eventual ownership
  • Prefer not to worry about lease-end wear or mileage considerations
